And how many Dems? At one time severals years ago Pelosi owned stock in Clean Energy Fuels

Jim DeMint has an Amendment up for the highway bill that will be voted on this week. Here is news article: http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/12/stand-with-demint-end-all-energy-subsidies/?print=1

Someone please post it - I do not have time to do so right now: meeting - but it is important to contact people about it I believe.

You can read the amendment by going to http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:sp1589: then striking the link after: TEXT OF AMENDMENT AS SUBMITTED: CR S645-646 - and doing a quick text search within that page for the amendment number 1589 - it is about one third of the way down the page. I phoned DeMint’s office to confirm it does eliminate ethanol subsidies. It does NOT appear to eliminate ethanol requirements, and I consider that to be a mistake since those requirements are driving up the cost of corn and other grains.

Thanks to whoever posts the DC article, and feel free to repost the followup paragraph (caution -the link must include the final colon and FR's parser may not handle it right without some care).
